    Shedding soon?

    Hello all. I have a roughly 6 month old normal female who shed for me in early December. It was anperfect healthy shed. Her husbandry is dialed in and she eats like a champ every 7 days without issue. She shows no signs of stress and loves being handled. I just know from previous experience that ball pythons her age should shed roughly 1 time per month and it is now over 2 since her last shed. She os on appropriate sized meals(1small to medium adult mouse 18 to 22 grams as she is a little more than 200 grams.) I am not terribly worried because ahe appears healthy im just wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this?

    Beeps actually shed on a widely varying time table. When they were about that, age my girls tended to go into a shed every 60 days give or take, though sometimes they'd go through growth spurts and hit another shed cycle at 40 days, or sometimes they'd slow down for a bit and not shed again for 80 days. It all depends on how much they're growing. Though at 6 months old I imagine your kid would be able to take something a bit bigger than 20 grams unless she's just little for her age. Do you know how much she weighs?
